"We must have been living in alternate universes for that to be your view of liberals as compared to mine."
When I said "no self-respecting liberal in 1970 would be against free speech, for uncritical war, against poor whites while supporting POC/women/gays, etc." that's exactly how I understood it c.1970 at about age 10 from my working-class extended family in northeastern Massachusetts, who called themselves "liberal". Maybe you're taking about the two-faced "limousine liberals" we disparaged.
This dichotomy certainly became clear by the early 90s when Pat Schroeder had the balls to complain about Paula Jones as being the result of "dragging a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park". That was my wake-up call as to what was happening to the party.
